Sir lastnail Gold Member Offline Australian Politics Posts: 30338 Gender:	500 job cuts at Holden Apr 8^th, 2013 at 3:11pm Just heard that Holden is about to make a major announcement. It is rumoured to be 100 job cuts in Victoria and another 400 in South Australia. So much for 2 billions dollars worth of jobs from the king of the renta-jobs

How about they piss off and leave all of the equipment behind that we have been bank rolling for the last 12 years instead of taking it with them to china ?

So you have actual evidence that holden are dismantling their factories in Australia and moving them to china, do you?

I personally would love to see your evidence, as would many others I suspect.

Unless this is just another bullsh1t cretinous rant of yours; hmmm what are the odds of that being the case.

They have already said that they will only be making Commodores here until 2016.

I know someone who works for Ford and that is exactly what they are planning to do at this very moment. They already have plans to move to china whilst us taxpayers are paying their wages Sad

No it's never been a joint venture. It's totally one sided Sad

The money just disappears down a black hole. It's a monumental scam that the government participates in just to buy some jobs for a few years and use it as a show trophy for it's failed manufacturing policies Sad

Knowing some disgruntled peon at the ford factory isn't quite the evidence I was expecting, actually no, it is exactly the 'evidence' I should have expected.

I always knew that making that holden cruise here wasn't going to work when it was already being made in korea !!

did you hear the yanky dude who is running Holden ?

Now he is blaming the strong aussie dollar !! He should take a good look at what he has been doing instead of blaming everything else !!

It sounds like they had planned an escape route all along and the orders to start liquidating originated from head office in detroit Sad

Like I have said numerous times is why do governments keep using our taxes to prop up foreign corporations which have no loyalty to this country and which just take our money and we have no say in anything ?

Hi Nail,
the big oil companies stopped the Govt. from making electric cars.
There would be no fuel tax for them.
